A physician asks a nurse how his patient is: she replies that he is rambling and delirious but the last sensible thing he uttered was an insulting remark about the doctor. Wood engraving, 1891.

Caption reads: '(Things one would rather have expressed differently.) Doctor. "How is the patient this morning?" Nurse. "Well - he has been wandering a good deal in his mind. Early this morning I heard him say 'What an old woman that doctor is!' - and I think that was about the last really rational remark he made."'
